The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution to establish that each regular session of the legislature shall not exceed forty-five days. It aims to eliminate the current restrictions that limit the types of bills that can be considered during even-numbered years, thereby allowing for a broader range of legislative discussions and actions. Additionally, the resolution provides for the consideration of veto overrides for bills from previous regular, special, or extraordinary sessions within the same legislative biennium.

If approved, this amendment will be presented to the public for a vote during the next general election or any special election called before that date. The changes are intended to enhance legislative efficiency and flexibility, ensuring that the legislature can address a wider array of issues and respond to the governor's vetoes more effectively.
